22 Communities Nationwide

Voices of Youth Count is partnering with 22 communities across the country in planning and executing youth counts, youth and surveys and provider surveys. In-depth youth interviews are also being conducted in five of these communities.

Our 22 partner communities were selected using a rigorous sampling methodology. They were intentionally chosen to be geographically diverse, include a mix of urban, suburban and rural communities, and have varying diverse local services for runaway and provider resources that serve homeless youth. This diversity permits communities not directly engaged with VoYC to learn from the experiences of communities that are similar to them. As a result, all communities across the country can learn from VoYC efforts.
